I always feel torn with Anne Rice. There were parts of this that I actually really liked. But there is a LOT of incest. Like A LOT! I get the point of it. But it was really uncomfortable to read.

Also, all her books have the repressed Catholic issue of being really weird about sex. Which is why I think she went the direction she did for your vampire anatomy. You get that kind of Catholic guilt here as well.

And while she will always be dear as my first vampire series, they aren't my favorite. There are better vampire characters available nowadays in my opinion that feel freer.
